In this study, we investigated the correlation between area of residence and
employment opportunities in a disadvantaged community: Lord Selkirk Park in
Winnipeg.

We concluded that state-led demand side strategies aimed at employment
generation may contribute to a higher level of economically active
residents, as well as citizen participation in the local community. There is
substantial potential for increased economic value of targeting employment
opportunities to willing job-seeking residents in this community.
